Synthesis and characterization of polyurethanes with high renewable carbon content and tailored properties.
(2016-08-31)
Thermoplastic and cross-linked biobased polyurethanes with a renewable carbon content ranging from 78 to 98% were synthesized and characterized. The macrodiol and the diisocyanate used were derived from renewable source, ...
Variable Speed Wind Turbine Controller Adaptation By Reinforcement Learning
(ACM, 2016-12-30)
The control of Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWT) to achieve optimal balance of power generation stability and rotor angular speed is impeded by the non-linear dynamics of the turbine-wind interaction and sudden changes ...
Synthesis of waterborne polyurethane-urea dispersions with chain extension step in homogeneous and heterogeneous media
(Elsevier, 2016-05-13)
[EN Hypothesis: The possibility of tailoring the final properties of environmentally friendly waterborne
polyurethane and polyurethane-urea dispersions and the films they produce makes them attractive for
a wide range ...
Synthesis and characterisation of polyurethane elastomers with semi-products obtained from polyurethane recycling.
(2016-10-01)
In this work polyurethane elastomers were synthesised by using different mixtures of a petrochemical and glycerolysate polyols and 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). Glycerolysate polyol was produced from polyurethane ...
Formal Aspects in SDH for Children in Spanish Television: A Descriptive Study
(Ediciones Complutense, 2016)
[EN] The comprehension of a subtitle goes far beyond the understanding of the meaning of the
words it comprises. Formal aspects of subtitles for the d/Deaf and the hard-of-hearing (SDH) can be
crucial in the cognitive ...
Linguistic Accessibility for Small Language Cinema
(IGI Global, 2016)
Audiovisual accessibility is considered as a basic right. In a world where audiovisual material is more and more present, several measures have been taken in order to facilitate the access to it by people living with sensory ...
Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2016-12-14)
Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it
remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an
individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin ...
Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individualbased pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts
(Nature Research, 2016-06-23)
Height variation is known to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but a
systematic description of how their influences differ by sex, age and global regions is lacking. We
conducted an individual-based ...
Thermo-radiative and optical properties of a cutting tool based on polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN)
(IOP Publishing, 2016-04-27)
The normal spectral emissivity of a cutting tool based on polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) between 400 °C and 1000 °C has been measured. Its shape shows significant differences with respect to that of pure cubic ...
Standardisation of Basque: From grammar (1968) to pronunciation (1998)
(De Gruyter, 2016)
This paper deals with the standardisation of the Basque language. Standardisation will be here understood as the codification of a linguistic variety accepted by the majority of speakers as a common form of the language. ...
